Sometimes, life can be so confusing. At other times, everything is so crystal clear. It's funny really, how you can dispense advice so easily to somebody else, but rarely are you able to do the same for yourself!
Where does that wise "you" disappear? I guess it is the third person perspective, vis-a-vis being too close to the situation phenomenon. You are too into it to think straight, to stay calm and to be intelligent. More often than not, you tend to jump to crazy conclusions and take even crazier decisions that you most certainly will regret at leisure sooner than later. Like right after, many a times.
Foresight, how many of us can honestly put a hand on our heart and claim we possess it? Who are we kidding, most of us don't! If we did, the world would be a more streamlined place, less chaotic.
Now, we have established that we don't have an iota of foresight, okay I know you are itching to say, you do a wee bit. I give you that my friend. Take it:) But, take a breather here and think this through - How does one develop foresight? You can say it in hindsight, worry not!
All answers welcome!

Between hindsight and foresight is 'Sight' ie the present. Deeply experiencing the present by living the present moment fully and reflecting and introspective, one develops INTUITION. Being intuitive is about connections happening because of experiences within which leads one to be prophetic.being prophetic is all about foresight. And mind you Sam, it is true and I vouch for it. It's not very easy to describe and not easy to understand and so people phoo phoo it.
ReplyDeleteOnly you can put it so well in such a simplistic fashion. A true prophet! Thanks Sir!
DeleteHow great would it be if we could just get a sneak peak into the future? Wouldn’t life be much easier, much simpler? It doesn’t work that way, much to our dismay. All our thinking, planning counts for nothing as eventually whatever has to happen, will happen. Foresight, no foresight :)
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely right Sonia...que sera sera.
DeleteInteresting observation
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteGood question Sam !
ReplyDeleteLife would not be any simpler if u were to know what is going to happen...That will only lead to more questions about the future as we humans can never really be satisfied with what we have .Talking about the past,it is something that has already occurred,you experience things some positive and some not the way you expected it to be,however all you got to do is learn and move forward.
For the present is all you have,Just experience the present,every moment every second,cherish it.As you practise this you will realise everything is really simple and crystal clear.The past and the future these are the two words that complicate matters.
Just go with the flow and make your choice for this moment for this second :)
Present and acceptance are two key words...nice Sameera! Thanks
